THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
There is fine collection of designs
ornamental and industrial drawings b
the various classes. They are all origi
nal, ard many of them reveal grea
deal of talent in designing. Their
are scores of really meritoriou
pieces of work in the exhibit. The exc
cution is generally very carefully ant
efficiently done. The High Schoo
classes in English studies present papers
on '"The 10y of the Last Minstrel, " in
which synopsis of that work and some
criticism are given. Many of these pa
pers are illustrated by the writer's, and
the designs betray a high degree oi
taste in the line Of the beautiful or OF
the comic. Some of the carricatures are
really good. Below is given brief synop.
